Earlier today (July 18), it was revealed that Jay Z has officially dropped the hyphen from his name. Billboard editor Joe Levy last night informed people of the name change via Twitter, writing: “Breaking: Jay Z has dropped the hyphen from his name, according to his label. I am not kidding. (Wish I was.) Copy editors: take note.”

Jay Z released ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ last week, and it was revealed yesterday (July 17) that the LP has already broken US streaming records on Spotify after clocking up 14 million plays. The album also had the biggest single day for streaming an album in US Spotify history, and went straight to Number One in the Official UK Album Charts last week.

Read interviews with Jay Z’s collaborators on the record in the current issue of NME, on newsstands now or available digitally.
